Description
Hellifield Peel is a building of group value, originally a 14th-century tower solar, which was likely converted into a tower house in the 15th century. It has undergone alterations in the 17th and late 18th centuries. The structure is built of rough rubble stone with stone dressings. It is three storeys high and has three bays. The front elevation has three windows per storey, each with late 18th-century moulded surrounds and strainer arches, although these windows are unglazed. A late 18th-century embattled parapet tops the building. The left-hand return wall features two 14th-century chamfered staircase windows, one with a rough ogee head. At the rear of the building are two garderobe chutes and flat-arched exits. The property is a scheduled ancient monument.
